One way I greet people is to say what's shaken?
Well I walked into the mens room and noticed a few men I knew standing up doing there business. Of course I said "what's shaken" and there was an uncomfortable silence to say the least. Thank God they knew I was married or I may have got my ass kicked. lol

I have had 3 fill thus far. 8cc total
I have lost 10 lbs total since May 24, 2005. I can eat anything I hope the next fill helps I have 3 cc left to fill.
I'm concerned for myself to say the least.

I'm 8cc with room for another 3 cc if I need it. I got 4 cc the first time and 2 cc each after that. I think 1 cc from here on if needed. I have some problems with bread but everything else is ok. I will need 1 cc or 2 IMO.

I went here could not be happier.
Dr Rosen is my Doc but the others are excellent too.

Your 100% right. I was told to do that on my last visit. Did I do that? No
But now seems to be the right time. Thanks for that web site. I'll start in the am when I wake up.
Peace!

After my recent fill (#3) I can honestly say that I notice a change but I can still eat almost anything. bread is not my friend unless I take it sloooow. pizza cust very little at a time.
I have lost 10 lbs since my surgery so I'm a little concerned that I may be coming to the end of the road with the band. I have the larger band with a maximum of 11 cc. My next appt is in one month. I know my Doc is expecting to see me lose 4-6 minimum.
I assume he may do another 1 cc from here on. On a good note I have stepped up my exercise program with good cardio work out but time will tell if I'm fooling myself.
Another friend of mine who has the same Dr. said he has 11 cc now and can eat everything with no problem. He said the Dr. is being very understanding and not charging him for his recent care. He may need to go back and have another band pute in.
I hope this thing works out for both of us. Anyone else have this problem?

Teresa if you need it you should use it. If you lost weight and don't need it then that a different story.

10k cash and I was on my way. BC/BS sucks I can say from my own expeience but I knew it would. I went into this planning on self pay only. Try to raise the money some way thru 401k loan, home loan, credit card or sell your car.

Dr. Phil proclaimed the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the
things you have started. So I looked around my house to see things I
started and hadn't finished; and, before leaving the house this morning
I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay, a bottle of
Baileys, a bottle of Kalua, a package of Oreo's, a pot of coffee, the
rest of the Cheesecake, some Saltines and a box of Godiva Chocolates.
You have no idea how freaking good I feel !

I'm the same way I hear of something new and think WOW! this could be for me.

I guess that means after 2 fills my band is working. I ordered a small burrito at Baja Fresh after eating 1/3 I felt it trying to come up. I attempted to keep it down but just not happening.
I reached for a few napkins and up came sum of my lunch. I then decided to eat only the inside of it and leave the flour shell for the trash can. I felt full and yet did not eat much at all.
Kind of gross but I was glad to see it did its job.

My Doc insisted I bring it with on the day of.
When I woke up I was wearing my CPAP.
I used it until the next day.

Oooooh la la.Maybe he won't ask, but if you must, tell him you had your gallbladder taken out
(as a mother hen, I have to say, don't forget to use protection LOLOL !!!!!)
Funny I was going to say the same thing

My first fill was 3 weeks ago (4 cc) today I got 2 cc.
It breaks down like this
First fill 4 cc

Does your Doc do it this way?

Welcome to LBT. Your story is a great example for us newbies who were just banded.

Nothing.
I always ate the same as everyone else. I did snack often so this is where I ran into trouble.
